Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Watched Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind last night with Claire and Paul. It's an absolutely stunning film (currently ranking at #49 in the IMDB's top 250 films list), a must-see! Go watch it! But try to know as little as you can about it before you do; it'll only improve the expeirence.

Manos: The Hands Of Fate
This is the worst movie I have ever seen. It is far, far worse, even, than Barb Wire.
It is truly abysmal. Awful filming, meaningless plot, impossible-to-understand ending, crap acting, discontinuity, shitty clipping... apparently three members of the cast committed suicide shortly after filming was completed. Almost none of the rest worked in film again.
Never, ever … -
Space Mutiny!
[this post was lost during a server failure on 11 July 2004; it was partially recovered on 13 October 2018]
Not the worst film I've ever seen (fourth worst film in the world, according to the IMDB), and seeing it as the Mystery Science Theatre 3000 version only made it funnier in it's stupidity!
Here's a brief … -

[this post was partially recovered on 12 October 2018]
Troma Night last night was a success, as was the Troma Night WebCam (Alpha Test), through which Paul could participate, despite his unfortunate absence.

Final Troma Night Of The Year
[this post was lost during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004; it was partially recovered on 21st March 2012]
And a good Troma Night it was, too. The usual people came - surprising how few of them had gone back to their families for Christmas, yet - although Liz didn't bring Tom, and, as … -
Worst 100 Films Of All Time
IMDB provide a list of the worst 100 films of all time, as rated by their visitors. I particularly enjoyed the fact that four of the Police Academy movies made it into the list. In other words, Police Acadamy films are responsible for 4% of the Worst 100 Films Ever. This shouldn't come as a …

Something In The Water
[this post was lost during a server failure on Sunday 11th July 2004; it was partially recovered on 21st March 2012]
People keep getting together. Kate and Leu, Tom and Liz (now with a journal!), and now: Sian and Andy. Must be something in the water. The latter pair (and the one I most recently heard … -

Ran out of food, ran out of alcohol: a disgrace from a planning perspective.
On the other hand; we watched...

AbNib & Str8Up!
Oh yeh; and, in case you hadn't noticed - AbNib is down. And it's not my fault! The server fucked up something rotten, but seems to be okay now. And whoever posted a comment to one of my entries the other day and had it not-appear; sorry: same issue.
I'll try to get AbNib up again … -
Being Charlie Kaufman
Just watched Adaptation with Claire and Paul. Absolutely fantastic - a post-modern marvel. Put simply, it's an adaptation of a book entitled The Orchid Thief - a true story about the author, Susan Orlean (Meryl Streep), meeting John Laroche (Chris Cooper), a horticultural specialist who collects endangered orchids, set to the backdrop of Charlie Kaufman, …
